Storytelling and Parenting

Mummying and Thriving

In this week’s episode, I had to pleasure of talking with Azalia, who is a mum illustrator, storyteller, content creator, mental health advocate, and influencer( Talk about wearing many hats).

We met in the most interesting way and have been kindred spirits ever since. I believe she has one of the coolest pages on Instagram, which she dedicates to mums and advocates mental health.

We dived into some of the raw emotions and struggles she went through when becoming a mum for the first time and how professional help gave her the tools to cope.
Azalia was recently featured on Huffington Post. Check out the article here:https://www.huffpost.com/entry/motherhood-comics-dear-mama_l_63bc70f3e4b0ae9de1c09542
